Education in the United Kingdom is compulsory from the age of five to sixteen. Children under five go either to nursery schools, or to playgroups. The main aim of such kind of establishments is to make the children ready for primary schools.
Compulsory education for all children begins at the age of five. There are 35,000 state schools in Britain. All of them are the responsibility of the Local Educational Authorities (LEA).
Primary school is for children from five to eleven. At first the studies are more like playing than working. Lessons usually last from nine in the morning till four or five in the afternoon with a long break at the lunchtime.
At the age of eleven pupils go to comprehensive schools. They study Maths, English, Arts, English Literature, Geography, one or two foreign languages, usually French, Italian or German, PE (Physical Education), IT (Information Technology), Religion, Science, Biology, Sex Education and other subjects.
At the end of their studies they take General Certificate of Secondary Education examinations (GCSE) 0-level, and then they either leave school and start working or continue their studies at school or at college for two more years. This is called the sixth form at school or the sixth form college, and the students take only the subjects they need for entering the university of their choice.
At the age of eighteen they take GCSE A-level. There are no entrance exams to universities, so the students can enter a university or a college on the results of their A-level examinations.

How many actors who come to Hollywood are really successful?
Many people who think they have professional future in films go to Hollywood only to find disappointment instead of success. They often have to give up the more enjoyable aspects of their chosen career to play parts in advertisements because these provide financial security – but they are not satisfying. For many actors, even basic survival can be difficult. Some do not earn enough to pay their rent or electricity bills, and the time and money they invest in the preparation of a portfolio for interviews is often wasted. Of course there is a possible explanation why only 1% of actors are really successful. There are just too many people who believe that their next performance will be the one that makes them a star!

What do many girls dream of?
Many girls dream of a career as an ice skater. The costumes and graceful movements make it seem a very romantic thing to do. What’s more, young skaters like Carolina Kostner attract huge numbers of fans when they compete. Nevertheless, ice skating, like most sports, is very demanding and Carolina has to work hard. She spends hours practicing complicated routines and also follows a fitness programme in the gym. Carolina is naturally slim and she doesn’t put on weight but she still has to watch her diet and make sure she eats the right food to get her through her busy schedule. She also needs plenty of sleep. Even after all the celebrations when she wins a competition, Carolina is usually in bed by 9 p.m. She travels with her family so she doesn’t usually feel lonely though she says she sometimes misses being at home with her own things. For Carolina, skating is lots of fun and she enjoys competing against other young skating stars very much.

When was Stephen King involved in a terrible accident?
Stephen King is a very famous author today but it was not always that way. He had to work hard to become successful, like most writers. Until he began to make money from his writing, he worked in a laundry and then later as a teacher. Although his stories are full of strange characters and terrifying events, at the same time they seem to be very realistic to most readers.
A few years ago, King himself was involved in a terrible accident. He was walking along a country road when he saw a car coming towards him. It was moving dangerously from one side of the road to the other almost as it was no one driving it. In fact, there was a driver but he was drunk. Although King tried as hard as he could to get out of the way, the car hit him. The driver was not hurt but behaved as if he didn’t care at all.
King said later that he felt just like a victim in one of his novels. The man even looked like someone King had once written about. It took Stephen King more than a year to recover from the accident and even things he had always loved doing, like writing, were almost impossible for him.

No one can seriously pretend to remain unaffected by advertisements.
It is impossible to close your eyes to the pressing offers to buy this or that thing that fill our streets, newspapers and TV programmes. No matter how hard we resist, the advertisements get into our minds and stay there. Though they seem so varied, they have one thing in common: they make strong appeal to our emotions.
